Is it me, or do all the pros seem to ride skis that are the same height as they?

Well ride a long ski if you are tall. I'm 193 tall and I ride 190 V-Pros. I'd ride a longer ski if someone made a decent one that was longer.

Yes, I know it doesn't. I was assuming average build here (which almost all skiers are).

I'm average weight for my height (195lbs). Anyway, I am still riding Dragons, but it seems that no one makes longer twins anymore.

Uh, they make plenty of long twins. Usually they're just fat as well. And pros usually use a variety of skis, Tanner uses JPs on booters all the time.

tanner doesnt use the 176 as much as the 180... and i may sound like a complete loser for knowing that, but its very easy to see the difference, esp when the 176 ar5's were green and the 180's were red and black

tanners pro model is a 176. He designed them so i'd think thats what he prefers
